How much is enough? Meta-analysis (epidemiology) shows higher fruit and vegetable intake associated with lower risk of cardiovascular disease & stroke. 5 a day is great, 10 a day even better! Ana Rodriguez-Mateos presents data at #alprofoundation #PlantBasedEating academic.oup.com/ije/article/46…

Main sources of polyphenols in UK diet is NOT from fruit and veg... but from tea and coffee ☕️ But types of polyphenols vary between sources says Ana Rodriguez-Mateos at #alprofoundation #PlantBasedEating link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Cocoa flavonols reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure, effect size is small but significant. Explains Ana Rodriguez-Mateos at #alprofoundation #plantbasedeating. How relate to chocolate consumption? (Dark higher polyphenols than milk higher than white!) 🍫 cochrane.org/CD008893/HTN_e…

Our new paper finally out in AJCN, showing that epicatechin but not procyanidins are responsible for improvements in endothelial function, blood pressure and arterial stiffness after cocoa flavanol consumption (procyanidins decreased total cholesterol though)
